How often does your doctor check your vitamin levels? Sadie just had hers done about six months ago and they started her on a vitamin D supplement and lowered her vitamax. Today she had another visit and they wanted to check her vitamin levels again, but I held them off til next time because I had to go to work. Is it normal to check them twice or more a year? Or do you think it can wait til summer? Why do they constantly want to stick her?

They probably wanted to recheck them to make sure her levels were ok after the adjustment to her vitamin intake

Usually once a year, but we just started Alyssa on Vit D as well -- I'm guesssing they will recheck to make sure they are giving the right dose. A year is too long to wait if the levels are off.

Thanks everyone. I know it's probably a good idea, I just hate getting her blood taken. She really hates it as it is and now we're going to traumatize her even more.
